Announcement about Sample Release Time of New MUSES Flagship Amplifier "MUSES03"

October 11, 2016

New JRC will release a new flagship model "MUSES03" in high quality audio device "MUSES" series and has determined to provide
samples from December 2016. The "MUSES03" is a single J-FET input high quality audio amplifier.

[MUSES Amplifiers]

New JRC has been focusing on sound quality, such as "Improving the sound texture", "Improving the reproduction of the sound field space",
and so on. MUSES amplifier series of high quality audio amplifiers employed excellent circuit design techniques, chip layout design technology
and new frame material for audio, coupled with New JRC's audio IC technology essence. All along, the product material, chip size and production
process have been obstructing improvement of sound quality. We have never minded these factors, and sought only sound quality, so MUSES amplifiers were developed.

[MUSES03 Features]

MUSES03 is a single J-FET input high quality audio amplifier with special consideration for audio application. The MUSES03 is very suitable for
audio pre-amplifier, reference amplifier, active filter, line amplifier, earphone amplifier, etc. Moreover, because J-FET has low input bias current,
the MUSES03 is much too suitable for I/V converter using op amp.

Precaution for counterfeit semiconductor products

We have recently detected many counterfeit semiconductor products that have very similar appearances to our operational amplifier
"MUSES" in the world-wide market. In most cases, it is hard to distinguish them from our regular products by their appearance,
and some of them have very poor quality and performance.

They can not provide equivalent quality of our regular product, and they may cause breakdowns or malfunctions if used in your
systems or applications.

We would like our customers to purchase "MUSES" through our official sales channels: our sales branches,
sales subsidiaries and distributors.

Please note that we hold no responsibilities for any malfunctions or damages caused by using counterfeit
products. We would appreciate your understanding.
